One of my fondest memories was going to see the Joshua Tree anniversary tour in Louisville back in 2017. That's good to hear. I saw them on the original Joshua Tree tour back in '87 and strongly considered going to a reunion tour show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kcgumbohead Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 Was in a rye mood last night and enjoyed a pour of Dads Hat BiB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mal00768 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 This is a disappointing pour. Form me it’s like I’m sucking on a peppery tree branch. Very sharp spice. Bunker clunker. Fortunately it was a gift so I didn’t spend money on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace1943 Posted April 1, 2020 Share Posted April 1, 2020 I realize that preferences and tastes differ. I had bunkered the KCCSR heavily a year ago and just recently got back to it. I had gone off on a lengthy Booker's and ECBP excursion. Based on my recent experience with it, I've begun bunkering this stuff again. To me it drinks like a superior bourbon with the added excitement of the rye spice. The mouthfeel is heavenly. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guss West Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 Finishing off this 4 year Willett. This was the whiskey that brought me in and I'm still helpless for her charms. Cheeky Kulsveens!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it is spectacular. One of the best American whiskeys of the last couple years. The price is the only thing that has kept me from buying more than I have already. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mal00768 Posted April 2, 2020 Share Posted April 2, 2020 (edited) That’s interesting. My bottle doesn’t seem to have any of the traditional bourbon notes. I’m usually a big high rye bourbon fan too. I will give it a try another day in case it’s just a bad combination of whatever else is on my palate. Edited April 2, 2020 by mal00768 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a damn nice pour. and one of those where I've seen the price vary quite a bit (felt it was fairly priced at $59, but have seen it at $80 and a whole lot less enamored with it at that price). Down to the last couple pours of a dusty WTR101. That's one I wish I would have been 'in the know' about before it disappeared, although glad to have gotten at least a couple bottles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah - that was a special time for U2. That was also the one I considered the best I had seen up until last September when I saw Metallica play with the San Francisco Symphony Orchestra. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at the level of the very best ryes (THH, Owl #1), but very enjoyable and incredibly drinkable. Glad I bunkered a couple extra at $60. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that I give a crap about the booze (that’s a lie, yes I do..), but that the use of a word like “alliterative” that I have no idea what it means, and took me more than a few minutes and google searches to learn it and “get it” about your post, has made me a touch smarter today.

0895 Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Tried this on vacation last year and liked it enough to pick one up. Yeah, it’s young (2y+) and craft, but it’s different, and that’s what I like. 68% rye 18% wheat 14% barley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
